13 Films Featuring the Great Ladies of Martial Arts (name the actor and a film or 2, or 3)

1. Nora Miao (The Comet Strikes, The Blade Spares None)



Comments optional - Known by many as Bruce Lee’s go-to leading lady, Miao also headlined several Wuxia winners for Golden Harvest. I own a bunch of her movies, with Bruce and otherwise, and in 2020 I had, what I called, a “Nora-Palooza” (which just means I watched and reviewed several of her movies). While not the most skilled martial artists, she had personally and a fun energy, I loved her.

3. Angela Mao (Enter the Dragon, Lady Whirlwind, Hapkido)
4. Yanin Jeeja (Chocolate)


Comments: I haven’t seen a lot of her movies, but it’s all about Chocolate, Chocolate rocks. I love the way Yanin imitates other fighters in this movie, M.A. aficionados will be able to spot her doing all the greats from Tony Jaa to Jackie Chan. My favorite moment is when she replicates Bruce Lee’s Icehouse fight, complete with cat-like howl. Awesomeness!

BTW - Fantastic choices you two - I bought "Righting Wrongs" with Rothrock from Vinegar Syndrome when it was released a few years back, she's a legend - and Angela Mao was all kinds of speed and strength and coolness... along with those named, "When Taekwondo Strikes" is another I enjoyed and would recommend.

One of the early stars of the golden age, Cheng is Martial Arts royalty. We recently saw her in Mulan, she played the baddie in Crouching Tiger and is probably best loved and known for playing Golden Swallow in two films, by two master directors, Chang Cheh and King Hu.
